Ah, Mr. Brownstone. Still my favourite off that album. Very catchy tune.

Just thinking of high school and GNR, there was one English class where I actually got to quote Mr. Brownstone. Somehow, this very young teacher ended up with every slacker, headbanger and class clown in one room. We had some fun, I can tell you.

Anyway, we do a little exercise in which we find metaphors in song lyrics. Somebody early on has a good one with some mild cursing, and we're given permission to include coarse language if it is an integral part of the quote.
